Need help finding Wheel Cylinder push rod

As the title says I'm trying to find a rear passenger side wheel cylinder push rod for my '68 C-10 with 327. The two I took off the old wheel cylinder are pretty much shot and over half eroded away. So for the past few days I've been searching the internet, and calling parts stores to find new ones and so far no avail, so I have come here in hopes to find an answer.

Does anyone know where to buy new push rods or am I pretty much screwed? Any input is appreciated.

Re: Need help finding Wheel Cylinder push rod

You should be able to purchase the cylinder with the push rods, which if the push rod is shot it is probably a good idea to replace the cylinder. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you. I'm still using my old ones (with new cylinders) and they were pretty rough. Couldn't find them anywhere.

I'm thinking a GM dealer might be able to source them.
